details

so a bit more detail... things are starting to settle down for us. Poor little guy has had a rough few days, but it such a champ! So labor started Saturday morning, contractions pretty regular but not too intense. It lasted for the next 2 days... and 2 long nights... before we rushed in to the hospital around 6am Monday morning. A few hours later, he came! He was having some respiratory distress when he came out so they had to run him into NICU. They gave him some oxygen, hence the reason for all the tubes, just to make sure everything is ok and let him adjust to life a little easier. He was weaned off it later Monday night and has been doing great ever since. Hes still in NICU with a few eating issues, like not hungry, but he is getting so much better with that too! Hopefully we get him within the next few days! But he really is doing great and all the Dr.'s say he that he has been making huge improvements. So I get discharged today and we are still waiting to here about him.

So yesterday, he had his first modeling gig! The people from Philips electronics have some new baby monitors and wanted to use a baby in their pics, and the guy chose Rhys! It was so funny to see him at 1 day old getting his pic taken!

Now, his name... It sounds like "Reece" but in Australia, they spell it this way. And since he's our little Ausie baby, we thought it only appropriate! Im thinking no one ever guessed it!

Oh, and dont be so hard on Justin. Once the epidural kicked in, I was able to take a much needed break and he used that time to inform everyone of the impending outcome! He is the best person I could have had at my side, and did so much to help and keep me calm! And his Adidas job found out and gave him the rest of the week off, which considering this was his last week working there, he now has nothing to do but hang out with us till the end of May because he is all done with school!!! YEA!!
